Purcell’s 20th Century Heritage Consultant, Jon Wright, has joined the prestigious ICOMOS ISC20C committee - a fantastic opportunity for Jon and Purcell to connect to debates that impact 20th-century heritage worldwide.

The ICOMOS Twentieth Century Heritage International Scientific Committee celebrates and conserves mid to late twentieth-century buildings; those that are most at risk through lack of recognition and protection. The committee forms an interdisciplinary group representing various specializations particular to the heritage places of the Twentieth Century.
